Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be the first Harry Potter spinoff to be released since the film series came to an end in 2011. The adventures of the spinoff will continue for at least four more films as Warner Bros announced that Fantastic Beasts will be part one of a five-part series. Announcements like those are not entirely uncommon as studios have a tendency to confirm sequels and larger franchises based on how the film is testing.

Another good measurement of success is how well the film tracks, and according to new reports, the Harry Potter-spinoff is on course to have a $75 million opening in the US. Check out the full story below.

After the release of eight Harry Potter films, Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling are now venturing into the wizardry world of spinoff sequels. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them centers on Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), a magizoologist arriving in mid-1920s New York for a brief stop after documenting fantastic beasts around the globe. However, a no-maj (the American version of a muggle) accidentally lets the beasts loose. The studio just held a global fan event where attendees got to see a sneak peek of the upcoming film. But that wasn’t the only surprise. News broke that there will be a total of five Fantastic Beast films that will be released in the future.

It’s real easy to see why everyone is excited for another Harry Potter film. Though his story has ended, the franchise will continue to live on through spinoffs and prequels.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the first of those films, centering on Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) a Magizoologist of the early 1920s, whose works helped inspire the textbook seen in the first Harry Potter film. Now the film will give us a look at his adventures. But before all of that could happen, Warner Brothers is pleased to announce that they will be holding a free global fan event in 18 major cities around the world. More on the story and a video below.

Warner Brothers will be making a few more pushes in the coming weeks to help promote the release of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and they will start with the final trailer for the film. We’ve known that the Harry Potter spin-off would be based on exploits of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), the magizoologist whose work was the inspiration for a Hogwart’s textbook that we’ve saw in the original films. Though the character appeared in portraits in the books and films, the prequel-spinoff will be the first time where we see Newt in action.

The world of Harry Potter continues to expand in more ways than one. There is the musical, which follows after the events of The Deathly Hallows, and then there’s the upcoming film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The prequel will take fans back ’70s prior to the events of Harry Potter, where a young magizoologist named Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) ventures across the ocean to America for an important meeting with an official at the Magical Congress of the United States of America. But when creatures escape from the magical briefcase, it is up to Newt and a No-Maj (America’s version of a muggle) to capture them before things turn catastrophic.

Now Warner Bros. has released a new featurette that helps familiarize ourselves with our protagonist. Check it out below.

A teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them debut during tonight’s MTV Movie Awards 2016, and Warner Bros. has now released it online.

Watch the teaser trailer here below.

The film is part of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe and takes place 70 years before the events of the original series. The movie stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, a magizoologist — which is someone who studies and catalogs the various magical creatures of the wizarding world — on a trip to New York. With him is a magical suitcase, which you’ll get a glimpse of in this new trailer.

The next movie in the Harry Potter cinematic universe, the start of a new prequel trilogy titled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is set 70 years before the events of the Harry Potter stories and in America.

That movie doesn’t arrive until later this year in November, so to help pass the time a new series of short stories from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling titled “History of Magic in North America” has been announced. A trailer and the first of these stories was released today, and basically the stories will act a quick history lesson on the some of the witchcraft and wizardry found over the years here in North America while also adding some layers to the universe as a whole.

If you’re a Harry Potter fanatic who’s struggled to fill the immense void left when the final movie based on author J.K Rowling‘s main book series came and went almost five years ago now, you’re probably pretty excited these days. Not only is there a new movie on the way later this year, but a new stage play that will actually continue the story of Potter himself titled Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is also set to open this summer.

Unfortunately for most fans, they won’t get to see said stage play—at least not when it’s first released, anyway—because it’s being performed in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre. Perhaps it will do well and eventually branch out, but those anxious to take in this new story aren’t going to want to wait, anxiously hoping they’ll get to see the play someday. Thankfully, and very smartly, it’s been revealed that there will be another (quite fitting) way for fans to enjoy Cursed Child: as a new book.

Warner Brothers has released a new video in which various Harry Potter cast members and fans of the movie franchise were shown a very special behind the scenes peek at the upcoming prequel spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and share their reactions to the preview. Hopefully the Fine Brothers won’t attempt to sue Warner Bros. (and us by extension) for this one.
